Instructions for updating RAOB datasets:        06/30/10

The set of configuration files for RAOB databasing and display is:

/awips/fxa/data/raobStationInfo.txt

/data/fxa/nationalData/raob.goodness
/data/fxa/nationalData/raobDataKeys.txt
/data/fxa/nationalData/raobDepictKeys.txt
/data/fxa/nationalData/raobProductButtons.txt
/data/fxa/nationalData/raobMenus.txt

***notes about raob.goodness from Jim Ramer, GSD 6/30/10

   The very last (sixth) column is the progressive disclosure hint,
   as described in staticProgDisc.html or va_driver.doc.html.
   In this file, it is also used to say whether a given station
   participates in making pop-up skewTs and geographic station
   selection for the VB. Stations with a progressive disclosure hint
   greater than zero will participate in pop-up skewTs and
   geographic station selection for the VB.

   If a site with 0 (zero) is changed to 50 in raob.goodness
   6th column, that site will then be in pop-up skewTs, etc.

   If a site happens to have a version of raob.goodness in
   their /awips/fxa/data/localizationDataSets/LLL/ directory,
   they will need to see to it that this file gets modified.
   For testing it can be edited in place, but for final
   implementation they may need to edit one or more of the
   following files, depending on their specific configuration:

/awips/fxa/data/localization/LLL/LLL-raob.goodness
/data/fxa/customFiles/raob.goodness
/data/fxa/customFiles/LLL-raob.goodness

and then run the -station localization task.

Also, while it may often be true that a D-2D restart is
not needed to complete the implementation, I do not think
it can be 100% guaranteed in all cases.  It is not the
D-2D as a whole that may need to be restarted, it is
the IGC_Process, so a forced main pane restart out of the
Options menu should do the trick.

To update and activate the raob files:

1.  Log into the dx1 server as the root user
    Change directory to /awips/fxa/data

     cd /awips/fxa/data

     Backup raobStationInfo.txt

2.   Change to /data/fxa/nationalData, to backup remaining raob datasets

     cd /data/fxa/nationalData

     Backup raob (raob*.txt) datasets

3.  sftp to the NOAA1 server

     sftp         noaa1
     cd /pub/ndm
     get raob.goodness
     get raobProductButtons.txt
     get raobDataKeys.txt
     get raobDepictKeys.txt
     get raobMenus.txt
     lcd /awips/fxa/data
     get raobStationInfo.txt
     bye

4.  Ensure that file ownership and permissions are correct
    on the new files by entering the commands:

     chown fxa:fxalpha raobStationInfo.txt
     chmod 775 raobStationInfo.txt
     chown fxa:fxalpha /data/fxa/nationalData/raob*
     chmod 775 /data/fxa/nationalData/raob*

5.  Copy the updated /awips/fxa/data/raobStationInfo.txt file
    from dx1 to the remaining servers and workstations.
    The following script may be used to accomplish this task:

     for i in dx2 dx3 dx4 ds1 ds2 px1 px2 $LX_WORKSTATIONS $XT_WORKSTATIONS
     do
     echo $i
     scp -p raobStationInfo.txt $i:/awips/fxa/data
     ssh $i "ls -l /awips/fxa/data/raobStationInfo.txt"
     done

6.  On each server and workstation, switch user accounts to
    fxa user and run localization by entering these commands:

     cd /awips/fxa/data/localization/scripts
     ./mainScript.csh -tables -station -clipSups -dataSups

7.  Stop and restart the RaobBufrDecoder on the
    dx3 server

    by entering the following commands:

          rlogin dx3
          su - fxa
          stopIngest.dx3
          startIngest.dx3
          exit
          exit

8.  Stop and restart D2D on all of the workstations.
